SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
The Tobacco Crop.

1t IS said as to low grades it must be
admitted there is an abundant supply
more than enough for the years re-
quircments; but against that fact is
the circumstance that these grades are
SS2 per cent lower in price than they
were in 1884. when average lots suit
able for the Spanish reggie brought
from st to 81 cents. and to-day goods
of the same character can be had at S
to 81 cents; while it has to be remem-
bered that the great decline in produc-
ton this year is in sections which have
produced tho great surplus Of low
grades. There will certainly be .
shortage, it is assumed. in these grades
this year.
Respecting reggie tobaccos Of the
higher type it has never been claimed
shat the crop Of 1886 yielded greater
supply than the crop Of 1885. and the
reggie requirements for 1886 practically
exhausted the supply suitable for that
appropriation. Now. with the de-
mands for 1887 for Italy and France.

that it does not appear very clear. even
in view Of the apparently enormous
stocks in sight. where enough tobacco

that the regies can buy in European
markets what they need to fill their
contracts is deemed groundless.
